'LAST DANCE' TEEN GIRL DEAD ON CRUISE, SPOTTED ON VIDEO JUST BEFORE MURDER

It's been close to three months since the death of high school cheerleader Anna Kepner, who also excelled in her academics.

Anna was found strangled and stuffed under a bed on a Carnival Cruise, and still no arrests have been made. Custody court battle documents between Shauntel Hudson and ex-husband, Thomas Hudson, point to their son, Anna’s stepbrother, as a suspect, but he still lives with relatives in an undisclosed location.

Just days before the teen's gruesome murder, footage captured on board the cruise ship shows Anna happy and enjoying line dancing with her grandparents.

Nick Giddens, a passenger on the ship, learns about the murder after returning home, and while looking through all his videos, he spots Anna dancing on the cruise ship five days before she was killed. While looking through all his videos, he spots Anna dancing on the cruise ship 5 days before she was killed.

The heartbreaking video captures a high-spirited teen gleefully participating in the Carnival Horizon Sail Away Party.

Texts submitted as evidence in the custody battle over Shauntel and Thomas Hudson’s youngest daughter reveal the family’s attempt at “damage control” in the hours after they’re told their son is a suspect in his stepsister’s murder.
